The Old Crem

Chope is only a temporary deputy speaker unti the new three are elected. I don’t think he is popular enough to be voted as a permanent one if he wanted to.

Obits coming in now. RIP.

Suella Braverman has been given a one of show on LBC on Tuesday. . Get the popcorn in that will be full on batshit surely.

I mean the full polling tables. Sample size, way it was conducted etc.

Have you go a link to the polling figures.?

The public as a whole surely support the sentences. Eco protestors are not popular and the average person wants longer prison sentences for every criminal. Labour’s main focus is not loosing votes to the Tories or Reform and being soft on Eco Protesters could lose those votes. There is a Twitter thread this morning by Alex Wickham setting out now Labour will govern mainly over the fear of the Tories winning the next election.

The American squad is a bit of a toxic mess

A very fascinating Telegraph obituary focusing on the fact Princess Margaret and Margaret Thatcher both enjoyed his comedy.

Surely the Suoreme court are not that stupid to allow a ban on Elections. That would surely trigger a civil war.

It’s pretty much impossible for the Dems to win or prevent a trifecta. Best they can do is limit the damage to make 2028 more winnable and also help future attempts to win the senate and house

August 15th.

While he is showing interest i am not sure how interested the FA is. For a long time he seemed the FA’s favourite but that now seems to be the harder to get Howe and in some of the articles about Howe they are negative references to his time at Chelsea and if he could cope with the pressure etc.

But a lot worse.

Burgon has been compared to Skinner before.

One health issue after another.

I will start with mine - it’s not going to be dramatic and I doubt any remotely surprising picks will make either my main team or my them teams. How is everyone else’s going ?

I’m sure it was said during the election that Great British Energy is going have its head office in Scotland so it will presumably be focused on it.

He looks the type to just drop dead from a heart attack someday.

Doesn’t look that great. Doesn’t seem like he tripped over anything rsther he just sort of lost his balance.
